stud or wall support of sufficient strength to support the weight of

the XFC or XRC.

2. Install the XFC or XRC mounting brackets on the back of the

enclosure using the pipe mount instructions supplied with the

mounting kit.

3. Determine the appropriate mounting height for the XFC or XRC to

allow some downward slope from the XIMV and manifold to the

meter run tap valves. This allows condensate to drain back into the

pipe.

4. Drill the upper mounting holes in the wall support.

5. Measure the distance between the top and bottom mounting bracket

holes.

6. Locate and drill the lower mounting holes in the wall support.

7. Lift and align the enclosure on the wall so that the mounting bolt

holes match the pre-drilled holes.

8. Insert the mounting bolts through the upper bracket holes and screw

in the bolts until tight.

9. Repeat this procedure for the lower bracket.

Direct-mount installation

Follow the instructions supplied with the manifold and stabilizer

installation kits to mount the XFC directly on the meter run orifice.

Materials:

 One (1) 5-valve manifold
